halflife hidef

Mod review

This feels like a mod that released too soon. I hope everyone goes back to this chapter and really gives it a overhaul. Anyways, I'll bullet point my criticisms and praises for this mod to keep it simple:

-The model to map fidelity is really off. It feels like Half-Life 1 with super HD weapons that don't match the world they're in.

-The level design is lacking in areas with overly big areas to walk around in but with nothing to do so it just takes up your time.

-Some key areas are just out of order and feel weirdly stitched in, and don't serve a purpose anymore. The manhack arcade is a great example.

-The gun play isn't very diverse but it's satisfying. Dark Interval doesn't want you to have weapons which is lame so props for doing that.

-The overall journey is a bit boring. The maps really aren't eye candy so I'm not really enjoying the long walks.

-The voice acting is a mixed bag. Gman is great while Barney isn't. I'd work on that.

-Gordon has giant sleeves.

Anyways, I'm not about to attack this mod like everyone seems to be doing pretty ironically given their track records with mod release quality. Best of luck with future releases!

Year of the Dragon

Early access mod review

Truly a very well made mod. It's still a work in progress but from what I've tried and seen it's coming along beautifully, yet another classic by Magpic Nipples.

Mod review

This mod is brilliant! The concept of a different take on the Halo world is wonderful! People say the mod is dead, but I don't even care! I still have fun! It's so well made and greatly detailed! So much little things that make you ask "Why wasn't this added in the original game or EaW?" I also love the creation of a artificial physics system! I know it's just animations to make it look like bodies are flying away from a Hunter's fuel rod shot, but it still looks great! There's even a blood system for you guys that like that extra violence. Such a lovely mod.
